    Looks like morale Mon-Thur nametags are a go.

    Next drunk...how question are you right now?

    It can't be any better than SMS. You need a CAC reader to use SMS, but it is free and will give you the "most" accurate info. Also (like I mentioned before), shotgun your Space-A request to every Pax terminal you can find. If it comes down to date signed up, you want to have to best chance (especially if you're at the end of your timeline). PM me with any other ?'s...

    I wouldn't count on it...even if there's a line going from LTAG-FJDG, you probably won't be allowed to Space-A D2 the airspace you transit.

    2, same on firefox...says "account suspended."

    or that he only has to forfeit $3678 in pay...YGBSM.

    I'm civ-civ. And if when I was AD I asked to be at the same base as my wife and then complained about our schedules once I was there, I would punch myself in the jejunum.

    Quibbling.

    This sounds like a shitty question from a bathroom trivia book...testing for stupid "gotchas" is probably what influenced the "cooperation" to begin with. Test on the material they actually need to know, and treat them like officers with a real responsibility (because they are).

    I don't have a dog in this fight, but has someone made a timeline with all these bullshit "announcements" that no one knows anything about? Might come in handy in the near future...

    a "new" nuclear vision has nothing to do with a commander that is so out of touch she thinks tater tots are a reward for her troops.

    $2700?! Jesus...what drives a price like that over other ARs?
  13. Day Man
    That depends on your definition of SHTF. $4k in a checking account would be worth less than $4k in ammo in some (extreme) scenarios. If you want to S some D under a bridge on month 5 after a RIF, have at it.

    My $.01...build up your emergency fund first; $4k is barely 1 months pay. After that, max out your ROTH. Then, diversify with some low-cost ETFs...those are relatively liquid for when you're ready to purchase a house (unless you do a VA loan).

    Stract- FWIW, When I separated in Sept, they would move my stuff to my HOR, or where I entered active duty; they were essentially the same place for me. I made a good amount of money renting the biggest U-Haul possible and road-tripping with the old lady. Your TMO should brief you on this crap in your initial out-processing briefing. PM me with any questions.
  16. Day Man
    unless there's some fuzzy math happening to stir the hornet's nest...uningbelievable.

    here's hoping

    Sounds shady...I want in.

    Can I get one?

    Look into ladder CDs... edit: directed at Van1, not xaarman.

    This is important...hindsight is 20/20, and you can't go on kicking yourself or saying "I should have..." Take a look at why those companies have done so well, and how it can help you find the next GOOG/NFLX/PCLN.

    Haven't read his shit, but you don't sound like Dave Ramsey's target audience. Like AM said, how diversified are you? Do you have $18k split between 3 auto/airline/fleshlight stocks? Look into ETFs that offer inherent diversification like mutual funds, but usually have lower fees and higher liquidity.
  23. Day Man
    2 Great point. Back when I took it, the interest rate was 2%, and you could get 4% through their savings. It was stupid not to take it. As with everything investing, YMMV.

    I always shook my head when I saw the newly-minted SSgt pull up in his new BMW/Benz. They drove WAY nicer cars than I did, and I was making over 2x their base pay (not bragging). We do our young guys a disservice by not teaching a basic finance course at BMT/FTAC, even if it might fall on deaf ears.

    That's cool, man. Just remember half the country (and Canada, too) is of below-average intelligence, and some of us don't need "baby steps."
